Sen. Tom Coburn Admits He Has No Interest In Representing The People

@ 05:31 PM (33 months, 29 days ago)

It's amazing what manages to come out of the mouths of Republicans when they speak the truth.

Sen. Tom Coburn, as quoted by the Tulsa World, speaking on the ethics reform bill that the U.S. Senate recently passed:

"If this becomes law, I will guarantee you I won't run again. I'm not about to put what I've worked for for 35 years as a physician and a businessman at risk so I can represent the people. I will say 'I'm cashing it in.'"
